Magic...Magic...Magic

Let's just take a moment of silence as we observe
the beauty that is their feet. Simply gorgeous. 

Well I'm sad to say that Christmas day is almost over. SAY IT AIN'T SO! :( So to relish in this moment for a little longer I am painting my nails red and watching The Nutcracker as performed by the San Francisco Ballet (they are brilliant...of course) A part of me is sad that I never had the chance to be in a production of The Nutcracker; I've always envisioned myself as one of Mother (idk how to spell her name..) children so often that I eventually convinced myself that if I learned the part someone would ask me to do it. I'm a dreamer.
I just realized that I've been humming all the songs the whole time without realizing. Love this.
My nails are so red right now I could cry because I'm so happy. Christmas doesn't end for Simone on December 26. Oh no it does not.
Well anyway, Christmas today was beautimous, but I'll blog about that tomorrow...after I go shopping...and filling out the rest of my college apps (legit all I have left is a short essay for the common app and another that's less than 500 words...not difficult...I just like to procrastinate I guess...meh). 

Christmastime Is Here

The title says it all.
In less than eight minutes Christmas day will be upon us; well, upon everyone on the east coast of the U.S.; everyone else will have to wait a few more hours. Sorry for that.
And sorry I haven't blogged in a while. Part of the reason was because whenever I tried to log in to blog about the important/interesting milestones that occurred in my life over the past six or so months (and there have been some!), I used the wrong 'log in ID' so I thought my blog had been deleted! Silly me. I realized my mistake earlier this week, so excuse me while I catch you all (I still like to pretend there are people out there who care) up on the past events of my life. I'll just list a few to "stir the pot" if you will.
I went to PULSE again...met Ian Eastwood (loved his class, loved him...he gives nice hugs)..received a dance scholarship from PULSE...applied to a few colleges...figured out what I was going to do with my life (college/career)...realized I actually didn't know what I was doing with my life and decided to start the application process all over again (still not done)...got a phone (a real one!)...performed in my last Christmas show with the company (tears)...inducted into Spanish Honor Society...bought a pair of Madden Girl combat boots (yes, this was important). 
That was only a few of the things that have happened over the past half year. I'll post about them soon, no worries. 
Now if you'll excuse me, there's less than one minute until Christmas, and I have some celebrating to do; baby Jesus was born on this night if you didn't know. Kind of a big deal.
CHRISTMAS! Merry Christmas, everyone!

For unto us a child is born, to us a son is given..

Geez. I love Christmas. 
Ps: Ignore the photo if you choose. It's the only Christmas(y) photo I have on the computer right now ( we were Christmas shopping, so it's legit)...The bear's name is Teddy :)
